14 years
by Paloma Schneideman (NZ) In a coastal town in New Zealand, life resumes during the summer; an opportunity for 14-year-old Sid to reinvent herself among the holidaymakers. Behind her bangs, her bob, and her placid expression, she observes young adults as models to imitate, bodies to desire, and fantasized relationships. Her audacity, impetuosity, and clumsiness merge into one, to the point of usurping a male identity in the chat rooms of a nascent internet.
Produced by Jane Campion, this fiction shares the chaotic perception of a teenager with extreme finesse, offering a powerful experience in the tradition of quality New Zealand cinema: psychologically sharp and emotionally raw.
